NAME

prs — print and summarize an SCCS file

SYNOPSIS

prs [-d dataspec] [-r [SID]] [-e] [-l] [-c cutoff] [-a] file...

DESCRIPTION

The prs command prints, on the standard output, parts or all of an SCCS file (see sccsfile(4)) in a user-supplied format. If a directory is named, prs behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last component of the path name does not begin with s.), and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of - is given, the standard input is read; each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file or directory to be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored. A -- on the command line implies that all following arguments are file/directory names.

Arguments to prs, which can appear in any order, consist of options and file names.

Options

All of the described options apply independently to each named file:

-d dataspec

Used to specify the output data specification. dataspec is a string consisting of SCCS file data keywords (see Data Keywords below) interspersed with optional user-supplied text.

-r [SID]

Used to specify the SCCS IDentification (SID) string of a delta for which information is desired. If no SID is specified, the SID of the most recently created delta is assumed. If an SID is specified, it must agree exactly with an SID in the file (that is, the SID structure used by get does not work here — see get(1)).

-e

Requests information for all deltas created earlier than and including the delta designated via the -r option or the date given by the -c option.

-l

Requests information for all deltas created later than and including the delta designated via the -r option or the date given by the -c option.

-c cutoff

Cutoff date-time, in the form

YY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]]

Units omitted from the date-time default to their maximum possible values. Thus, -c7502 is equivalent to -c750228235959. One or more non-numeric characters can be used to separate the various 2-digit segments of the cutoff date (for example -c77/2/2 9:22:25).

For 2-digit year input (YY), the following interpretation is taken: [70-99, 00-69 (1970-1999, 2000-2069)].

-a

Requests printing of information for both removed, that is, delta type = R, (see rmdel(1)) and existing, that is, delta type = D, deltas. If the -a option is not specified, information is provided for existing deltas only.

If no option letters (or only -a) are given, prs prints the file name using the default dataspec and the -e option. This produces information on all deltas.

Data Keywords

Data keywords specify which parts of an SCCS file are to be retrieved and output. All parts of an SCCS file (see sccsfile(4)) have an associated data keyword. There is no limit on the number of times a data keyword can appear in a dataspec.

The information printed by prs consists of: (1) the user-supplied text; and (2) appropriate values (extracted from the SCCS file) substituted for the recognized data keywords in the order of appearance in the dataspec. The format of a data keyword value is either Simple (S), in which keyword substitution is direct, or Multi-line (M), in which keyword substitution is followed by a carriage return.

User-supplied text is any text other than recognized data keywords. Escapes can be used as follows:

  • backslash\\form feed\f
    backspace\bnew-line\n
    carriage return\rsingle quote\'
    colon\:tab\t

The default dataspec is:

  • ":Dt:\t:DL:\nMRs:\n:MR:COMMENTS:\n:C:"

If no option letters (or only -a) are given, prs prints the file name, using the default dataspec, and the -e option; thus, information on all deltas is produced.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of dataspec as single and/or multi-byte characters.

LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

If LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of LANG is used as a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, prs behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See environ(5).

International Code Set Support

Single-byte and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

DIAGNOSTICS

See sccshelp(1) for explanations.

EXAMPLES

The entry

prs -d"Users and/or user IDs for :F: are :\n:UN:" s.file

may produce on the standard output:

Users and/or user IDs for s.file are: xyz 131 abc

The entry

prs -d"Newest delta for pgm :M:: :I: Created :D: By :P:" -r s.file

may produce on the standard output:

Newest delta for pgm main.c: 3.7 Created 77/12/1 By cas

As a special case (when no specifications for selecting or printing are given)

prs s.file

may produce on the standard output:

D 1.1 77/12/1 00:00:00 cas 1 000000/00000/00000 MRs: bl78-12345 bl79-54321 COMMENTS: this is the comment line for s.file initial delta

for each delta table entry of the "D" type. The only option argument allowed to be used with the special case is the -a option.
